Following this year’s conference theme ‘Innovating for the Future’, this PDW is oriented towards facilitating scholars to engage in critical reflections, insights, and open discussions on CMS as both a condition and consequence of innovation. This PDW focuses on CMS as both a community, such as the AOM CMS division, and an approach to knowledge/scholarship. The central position of this PDW is that if CMS is to understand the emerging needs and rising challenges of our changing society, then CMS itself should reflect upon the existing consequences of its own past innovations to consider possible directions for innovating a future for CMS. The central question that this PDW seeks to ask and answer is: ‘How then should we reflect toward innovating a future for CMS?’ To address this question, we bring together a panel of six CMS scholars from different regions, cultures, and career stages, all of whom have close interactions with the CMS division. Two overarching processes of reflection will occur in the PDW space. The first process reflects on existing issues and possible directions for innovating a particular future for CMS. Scholar presentations serve as a conversation starter, where they reflect on their experience with the CMS division/community/scholarship and share four envisioned directions for a CMS future, including participatory innovation, radical decolonization that prevents self-colonizing, critical connections and togetherness, and a politics of hope. The second process of reflection focuses on next-step actions and consequences, laying a foundation for future activities and events of CMS collective innovations.
